Automatic Crepe Machines and Comfort Foods
Posted by Ben in Restaurant Equipment Videos on February 27, 2008
After years of Atkins, anti-carb mania, artisan food items like crepes are back and hot as ever. In homes, on restaurant plates, and at farmers markets, these kinds of treats are dominating the scene. We’re rejoicing in the resurgence of comfort foods, whose local, seasonal ingredients (like fennel, acorn squash, wild mushrooms) provide a gourmet edge.
Yet when it comes down to it, you can’t turn out a crepe without the right crepe machine. Check out this video of the COMCRP Automatic Crepe Machine, which can turn out up to 320 crepes per hour, manufactured entirely from stainless steel:
And if you’re looking to increase your capacity to the likes of 2500 pieces per hour, you might want to consider the C3 / LMTONDE Industrial Commercial Crepe Maker. Here’s a video of it in action:

Emiliomiti’s Volanobiz Now Has Anniversario LX 350 Meat Slicers
Posted by Ben in Emiliomiti News, Meat Slicers on December 19, 2007
Though slightly more sleek and industrial looking than your classical Berkel style machine, the Anniversario LX 350 meat slicer melds the classical with the modern. What do you get? Elegant functionality.
All of its cast parts are hand-finished to give it long-lasting luster. The whole technology is based in the machine having historical value, as well as utilitarian. It’s got a custom made German Solingen blade. It’s unique for Italian manufacturers in that it concentrates in high quality, not for mass production but for the number of units that will eventually be made. It’s also designed to be motorized for the second series, which will have manual as well as electric models.
Above all else, the Anniversario is supremely pragmatic, constructed with solid cast iron, an anodized aluminum alloy carriage that’s removable, and a stainless steel removable pushern. It’s a marvel of metal contours and light, that’ll turn out paper thin slices of meat almost like an old Berkel.
